Traces of Touch Handout

Making Zen November 2026

Welcome!

You are here because you’ve watched my tutorial ‘Traces of Touch: exploring layering, texture and motif’ with Making Zen and you would like to download the accompanying handbook.

Using a hand motif as a starting point, this workshop explores layered cloth, appliqué, faux chenille and hand stitch to create richly textured surfaces. Through playful experimentation with positive and negative space, you'll discover ways to develop a piece that is uniquely your own.
